    Hey, so I have a 2015 Tacoma and just purchased new headlights and taillights. Along with the new lights I changed some bulbs... including my turn signals. I purchased the correct bulb for turn signals, only difference is the front turn signals are LEDs. Now when I use the turn signals they blink rapidly. I walked around the truck with all lights on and none of the bulbs are out. I checked my turn signal fuse and that is not blown. When I put on my hazards the blinkers blink normally, but when I use them just for turning, they blink rapidly... help, please??!? :confused:

    Normal, you need to use resistors with LEDs to avoid this "hyperflash."

    Interestingly, I couldn't find my flasher relay on my 2015, but I also didn't remove the fuse panel, just look behind it.
